Marrying the dandy prince, the princess wants to usurp the throne

Even though he was unwilling, under Mu Yuchuan's gaze, Mu Qilin could only bite the bullet and answer, "Father, the expenditure of the court's silver is managed by the Minister of Revenue, why not hand this matter over to the Ministry of Revenue.

I think for the sake of people's livelihood, the Ministry of Revenue will be able to complete this important task."

"Ministry of Revenue?" It would have been fine if Mu Qilin hadn't mentioned it. As soon as Mu Yuchuan mentioned it, he got angry. "I summoned him to an audience this morning, but he made all kinds of excuses, saying that the treasury was empty and couldn't provide the money at all!"

If it weren't for the fact that the court is now short of talented people, he would have definitely removed the Minister of Revenue!

"Don't you have an idea? Help me think of a solution!"

Mu Yuchuan gave Mu Jiusheng a look.

Mu Qilin's face was stiff. Look, his father was always like this. No matter how hard he tried, his father's final gaze would still fall on Mu Jiusheng.

He was jealous, jealous to the point of going crazy!!!

"If the imperial court can't afford it, just let those officials not afford it."

Mu Jiusheng said, "Now the court has tens of thousands of people, from the prime minister to the county magistrate. The country is peaceful now, and many officials are idle. They usually eat and drink from the court. Now that the people are in trouble, why don't we ask them to pay some money?"

"The flood is the court's business. How can we ask for money from officials? How is this different from begging?" Mu Qilin had a rigid mindset and could not accept this strange method at all.

I even thought Mu Jiusheng must be crazy!

“Wrong! In the face of natural disasters, disaster management is everyone’s responsibility.

Officials are the parents of the people. Now that the people are suffering, the court and officials should be the first to stand in front of the masses.

Instead of watching the people suffer.

I have heard that my royal brother is kind-hearted. Whenever he meets beggars on the street, he would give them money so that they can live a good life.

If even beggars are like this, why can't they do the same to the victims of the disaster?

This is a charity fundraiser. What we donate is love, and what we raise is a sense of responsibility. Am I right, my royal brother?"

Mu Jiusheng's eyes curved into a smile, and Mu Yuchuan was overjoyed when he heard it, cheering loudly.

Only Mu Qilin clenched his palms unwillingly.

Once again, he was defeated by Mu Jiusheng!

His father often told him that Mu Jiusheng was just a woman and the country could not be handed over to her hands.

But facing such a Mu Jiusheng, how could he not be on guard?

"Father, since my sister has brought up this matter, then this matter will be handled by..."

"Let the Prime Minister do this!" Mu Jiusheng was quick to interrupt Mu Qilin.

"The Prime Minister is the head of all officials. As the saying goes, only when the top beam is straight can the bottom beams be straight. The Prime Minister takes the lead, and then all officials will follow suit. What do you think, father?"

……

Early the next morning, Shangguan Hong was given the imperial order.

When he came out of the imperial study, Shangguan Hong's face was as black as a charcoal basin.

After asking around, he found out that the idea was actually proposed by Mu Jiusheng, and Shangguan Hong was almost in trouble.

"Donation? Charity? I think Mu Jiusheng is tired of living! How dare a mere woman give orders to the government!!!"

No matter how Shangguan Hong thought about it, he never imagined that this sinful task was actually assigned to the emperor by Mu Jiusheng!

Who in this capital city is not a shrewd person?

Is Mu Jiusheng trying to make all the officials in the capital city his enemies? !

"Uncle, the Emperor is very concerned about the flood in Beili. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to intervene."

Mu Qilin hated Mu Jiusheng in his heart.

He and the Prime Minister's Mansion are closely connected. If the Prime Minister's Mansion suffers a disaster, his foundation will also be destroyed!

“I know that the only solution now is to ask those who are on the wrong side to pay more, and then use the rest from the treasury of our Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Those who are friendly with us must not be touched, especially King Jing."

This concerns whether their Prime Minister's Office can control the government and cover the sky with one hand when Mu Qilin ascends the throne in the future!

But Shangguan Hong didn't expect that his original plan would be completely disrupted in just one night.

His subordinates reported that Mu Jiusheng robbed no less than ten court officials in one night.

Not only that, these ten people are all his own people!!!

It was hard for Shangguan Hong not to think that Mu Jiusheng was targeting him!

Shangguan Hong rushed over in his clothes early in the morning without brushing his teeth or washing his face.

From afar, she saw Mu Jiusheng holding a baby of several months old in his arms and a hand drum in his hand, which made the child giggle.

This was in stark contrast to the woman opposite who was crying so hard that she was about to pass out.

And at the door, there was a car filled with gold, silver and treasures.

You don't need to ask to know that it was dragged out from someone's home.

Shangguan Hongmei's heart skipped a beat. "Princess Jinghe, what are you doing?"

"Yes, Prime Minister. My father said that disaster relief cannot be accomplished by one person alone, so he specifically asked me to assist you.

It's because you are already old and half of your body is buried in the ground. I am afraid of tiring you out, so I didn't even sleep last night and rushed here to collect the disaster relief funds.

It is said that all the officials in our capital love the people like their own children. Look, we collected twenty carts of silver in one night."

what? !

Twenty cars? ! ! !

Shangguan Hong rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

Fortunately, Shaoyao was quick to give Shangguan Hong an injection, and he regained consciousness instantly.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Mu Jiusheng's concerned look, "Prime Minister, are you okay? Did you faint from joy after hearing the good news?

You don't have to be happy so early. Before you came, I asked Bai Zhu to use your name to collect disaster relief funds from various government offices.

I think by now, I should be able to collect quite a lot.”

Mu Jiusheng was afraid that the fire was not burning strongly enough, and he added fuel to Shangguan Hong's fire.

Shangguan Hong's good qualities were almost unsustainable.

I've heard that Princess Jinghe is not someone who is easy to mess with. She is easy to talk to, and she can just pretend she doesn't know if her servants make mistakes.

It's hard to talk to her, and even the title of the bully in the capital will have to give way to her.

But he never expected that she would blatantly break into the house and rob it!!!

"Your Highness, the order I received was only to accept the disaster relief funds donated by the officials, not to come and ask for them.

Your Highness, is this a bit too much to ask of you? "

Shangguan Hong had a pair of cold eyes, and the cold light that flashed out of them could almost kill people.

He has never cared about class.

If we really have to rank them, he is the prime minister who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

Even if it was Princess Jinghe, she was just a woman. How could she interfere with his decision?

"Really? The Prime Minister doesn't want me to interfere in your affairs?"

Mu Jiusheng didn't seem angry, he just slowly asked a question.

Shangguan Hong was naturally unwilling, "Your Highness is a woman after all, it is not good for you to show up in public, so let me do this."

"it is good."

Mu Jiusheng agreed unexpectedly, and Shangguan Hong never expected that Mu Jiusheng would agree so easily.
